Do not Spend Your Cash on a Joiner Machine

On this video I display how I take advantage of unfastened tenons and floating tenon joinery to make quick, stable, enticing joints for doorways, face frames and different furnishings. I don’t use a joiner machine of any type, simply my router, my low cost router desk and a three/eight " rabbeting bit with a 1/2-Inch Shank. The tenons are tremendous simple to make with a good bandsaw and a stationary belt sander.

I titled this video to save lots of the heartache for the fellows and gals who truly spent the cash on joiner machines that frankly, don’t provide the flexibility and flexibility of doing this manner. I definitely didn’t invent this sort of joinery and if you happen to learn older woodworking books, folks have been utilizing comparable methods for generations. It doesn’t require any extra of your time than utilizing a joiner machine.

Additionally, no fussing with dowel jigs or any jigs for that matter!

NOTE: For dimension, it's best to make use of a rabbet bit that's 1/three of the thickness of your piece. You should utilize a three/eight" bit on a three/four" piece of wooden however that's about so far as you'd need to push it.

Great video, Eric. Everybody can't afford expensive machines to do woodwork. This is great because you demonstrate a simple way to make frame and panel doors with tools that a lot of us can afford. I'm always looking for better ways to do my work, and this is an excellent method. Thanks a lot for posting this!

There are biscuit joiners that aren't all that expensive…although they're not the highest quality brand, I have a Ryobi one that's pretty good and I'm not even sure it was $100 when I got it for Christmas years ago. Plus, it's not much more than that now. At least one DeWalt one is around $170, which is what I'd consider borderline expensive for a tool like this. Anything around $150 or less, though, is pretty reasonable. I do agree, though, about the tool you didn't say the name of but implied, provided you were thinking of the Festool Domino. That thing is OUTRAGEOUSLY priced, especially considering it's basically a one-trick horse.

Hi Eric,Great job on the bi-fold doors. Thanks for showing us "Learners" your jointing methods. I agree with everything you said about your method. Are dowels and doweling joints out of favour or just old fashioned these days? Allan
